«Utopia» is the political satire and philosophical fiction by Sir Thomas More, published by CreateSpace Independent Publishing Platform in paperback.
In «Utopia», the navigator Raphael Hythloday describes a fictional island where common property, collective labour and religious tolerance sustain an orderly society. Through that contrast, Thomas More criticises the institutions of his time in Europe and proposes a model of coexistence based on reason and justice.
This 2015 edition has 84 pages and is in English; the work was originally published in Latin in 1516.
A work of interest for readers of political philosophy, classics and dystopias; also used as school or university reading.
